useful locationnearby bus stopfree wafflesnice touch
the hotel's location proved very useful. nearby, there was a bus stop. i was also close to bars and restaurants. the free tea, coffee, and waffles in the lobby provided a nice touch. i chose room 401.
I found that wifi access was unreliable. The signal was inconsistent throughout my stay.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to public transport options. I noticed that several bus lines have stops within a short walk of the entrance. the town center is also easily accessible from the hotel, about 5 minutes away.
